they can't just stop there and wait for the next election to come around. there are a few things they can do right now that could make a real difference in people's lives. this congress should, once and for all, end tax breaks for companies that are shipping jobs overseas, and use that money to reward companies that are creating jobs here in the united states. i've put forward a proposal that does just that, and there's no reason why congress can't come together and start acting on it. this congress could hold a vote on the buffett rule so that we don't have billionaires paying a lower tax rate than their secretaries. that's just common sense. the vast majority of americans believe it's common sense. and if we're serious about paying down our deficit, it's as good a place to start as any. and finally, this congress should pass my proposal to give every responsible homeowner a chance to save an average of $3,000 a year by refinancing their mortgage at historically low rates. no red tape. no runaround from the banks. if you've been on time on your payments, i
